Deep, sensual techno marks the recent releases from Milan duo Hiver.


Last November, they followed up 2015’s ‘Same Mistake Twice’ EP with their return to Belgium imprint Curle, ‘Soundescence’. Four tracks each presents a different side of their sound, from the melodically-rich, psychedelia of the EP’s title track to the tripped-out breaks of “One More Snooze.”


Then their track “Intersect” (starring Ben Murphy) released on Taped Artifact compilation ‘A Fiction Universe’ last December was a crazy cross-pollination of classic beats under tones that sound like the call sign of a dystopian world news service.


Giuseppe and Sergio were born in the same town and eventually both moved to Milan where they started working on music together. Labels started to take an interest in their productions and they released their first EP “A Day” on Vidab Records in 2012. Following the well acclimated release on Curle “Blue Aconite” EP, featuring a Tobias. Remix, they started to get booked all over Europe.


Playing their sets at Panorama Bar/Berghain, Dimensions Festival, Off Sonar and ADE Festival, their production and performance have garnered Hiver great support from techno heavyweights such as Sven Vath, Laurent Garnier, and Efdemin.


Richard Brophy from Juno Plus wrote, “the middle ground between US and European electronic music is where the work of Hiver exists.”
